This is great.

There's a joint by me called Texan Barbeque. They have, hands down, the best bbq ribs I've ever had. OK well the wife and I were going to get take out from them, and I wasn't in the mood for ribs, so I thought I'd go with a hotdog. They have this menu item called "Texas Size 1/2 Lbs Hot Dog". That sounded good, so I went with that.

I get home, and I have this big tube of tinfoil. I figure it must be like a footlong hotdog, but maybe thicker since it was 1/2 lbs.

I unwrapped it.... and saw 4 grocery store hotdogs on 2 mushed buns laid in a row. AWESOME! That's a "Texas size 1/2 lbs hotdog". Those crazy Texans. They just figure "Well hell, just slap 4 of them regular hotdogs together."

Here's a pic:

some folks size does not matter ;) LOL so the small ones hafta do it twice to make up the Dif !! LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think you got the short end of the stick myself...:D
 
HAHA, I think someone pulled a fast one on you. As far as hotdogs go you have to get them in Vegas. I got a real 1/2lb hotdog and a football sized beer for $5 on Freemont street.
 
Actually that's probably for the best. I wouldn't want to see one hot dog that was that big! (Inferiority complex and all :D)
 
Thats what happens when you buy a Texas size hot dog in Chicago.:D That and the economy.

I am just glad this thread turned out the way it did...I was very concerned by the title.

And yet I looked anyway...?

When in Texas, I always shoot for the places that advertise: "Burritos the size of your head". I think I paid $2 for something that was actually the size of my head. Admittedly, a lot of it was lettuce stuffed in there. But it was the size of my head - and everyone know that my head is enormous :D
 
Man, that is lame. You need to go to your local butcher and get them to make you some custom hot dogs. One of the places around here will make them whatever size I want, and they are awesome. :)
 
80 grams of fat = long term energy for a strenouus hike!

whwn i used to rock climb, most of the group would eat blocks of cheddar, whole spicy gypsy sal,is, and tin after tin of tuna packed in oil. we would pack in between 10,000 and 15,000 calories a day, and at the end of week of climbing we'd have ribs showing.

the key is strenpouus exercise after eAting such delights1
 
Go back and ask if they can make a 3/4 lb. dog. :p :D

Crap. I bought two kayaks and a mountain bike this past year. Looks like I should have taken up rock climbing instead.
 
I had heard about that, Bushman5. Amazing how much you burn up when climbing.

How did your stomach hold up to all that fat and oil? Was it "Look out below!" as you hung your backside off the edge of the platform or did you get used to it?

I doubt that I have the guts to try a multi-day ascent, not to mention the strength and endurance, but I'd love to hear more about your adventures and technical information.
 
There's a deli near my that names all their sandwiches (the Yankee Doodle Dandy, the Dimaggio, stuff like that) . One of them is four hot dogs on one
bun, aptly named Hurricane Breeda! I've never been brave enough to try one so I don't know what the bun looks like, hopefully more appealing than the Texas version!
